Visit Dallas Heritage Village with your pack or den and experience history. We believe in living history, and as a part of that mission, we offer a variety of hands-on programs for Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of all ages. Activities are aligned with various Boy Scout and Cub Scout achievements and electives.
